What are kitchen scales used for?
Kitchen scales are used to accurately weigh ingredients during food preparation, cooking and baking. They can also help with portion control, recipe consistency and reducing ingredient waste in professional kitchens.
How do you use kitchen scales?
Place the scales on a flat, stable surface and switch them on if using a digital model. Place an empty container on the platform and use the tare or zero function where available before adding your ingredients. Always stay within the maximum weighing capacity of the scales.
What kitchen scales do professional chefs use?
Professional chefs use different scales depending on their requirements. Digital scales are popular for accurate ingredient measurements and portion control, while higher-capacity and analogue scales may be useful for weighing larger quantities.
How do you clean kitchen scales?
Switch off and unplug the scales where applicable before cleaning. Wipe the weighing platform and exterior with a suitable damp cloth, taking care to prevent water from entering electrical components. Removable platforms or bowls should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
